Health and fire staff report minimal constraints: well/septic lot width rules and no fire-code issues for residential split
Summary
Health staff told the applicant to ensure roughly 100-foot lot widths and at least 0.5 acres of usable land per lot to accommodate wells and septic systems, while the Fire Marshal's office said the residential property raised no fire-code issues and had no comments about road width.
Ronnie Nestor of the Health Department told the applicant that when lots are split the county looks for adequate lot width to place wells and septic systems, and the department generally requires 0.5 acre of usable land for septic purposes.
"When you split it, just make sure you got a 100 foot, you know, average block width on it," Nestor said, adding that the department's minimum usable land requirement is 0.5 acre per lot. Nestor summarized that those are the principal health considerations the applicant should address with a proposed plat.
A representative of the Fire Marshal's Office said the fire code did not apply to this residential property and that the office had no comments about road widths for the proposed split. The office therefore offered no additional road- or access-related conditions at this pre-application stage.
